The chest cavity houses some of the body's most vital organs, the lungs, food pipe, and the structures surrounding the heart.

When these functions are at stake, the choice of surgeon and treatment approach matters enormously.

With 22+ years of experience and more than 30,000 complex cancer surgeries performed, he brings together advanced surgical expertise, cutting-edge robotic technology, and a deeply patient-centred approach to care.
Thoracic cancer refers to cancers that develop within the chest cavity. These commonly include cancers of the: Lungs, Food pipe (Oesophagus), Thymus gland, Chest wall, Lining of the lungs (Pleura / Mesothelioma).
These cancers can significantly affect breathing, swallowing, and physical function. Recognising symptoms early and consulting an experienced Thoracic Cancer Specialist in Delhi NCR can significantly improve treatment outcomes.
Risk Factors for Thoracic Cancer
Certain factors can increase the risk of developing thoracic cancers:
Smoking, tobacco use, and secondhand smoke exposure
HPV infection and GERD (linked to oesophageal cancer)
Chronic lung disease (COPD, pulmonary fibrosis)
Asbestos, silica, and occupational chemical exposure
Family history of lung or thoracic cancer
Previous radiation therapy to the chest
Symptoms of Thoracic Cancer You Should Not Ignore
Early detection makes a real difference in thoracic cancer outcomes. Speak to a specialist if you or a loved one experiences any of the following for more than two weeks:
A persistent cough that does not resolve
Coughing up blood or blood-stained mucus
Unexplained breathlessness or shortness of breath
Chest pain or tightness
Hoarseness or persistent change in voice
Difficulty swallowing
Recurring chest infections or pneumonia
Swelling of the face, neck, or arms
Unexplained weight loss and loss of appetite
These symptoms do not always mean cancer, but they should never be ignored. Early evaluation by an experienced Thoracic Cancer Doctor can make all the difference.
How Is Thoracic Cancer Diagnosed?
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. The diagnostic process at Dr. Dabas's clinic typically includes:
Clinical Examination A thorough assessment of breathing, chest symptoms, and overall health to identify any concerning findings.
Bronchoscopy A flexible camera is passed through the airways to directly examine the lungs and collect tissue samples from suspected areas.
Endoscopy / Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) Used particularly in oesophageal cancer evaluation to assess tumour depth and lymph node involvement.
Biopsy A small tissue sample is taken and examined under a microscope to confirm the diagnosis and identify the exact cancer type and subtype.
Advanced Imaging Depending on the case, imaging studies may include:
- CT Scan of the chest
- PET-CT Scan
- MRI Scan
- Chest X-Ray
These help determine the exact size and location of the tumour, whether lymph nodes are involved, and whether the cancer has spread elsewhere.
